photo Charlie and Hurley trek through the jungle. Charlie steps on a trip wire and SCHLICK! An arrow embeds itself into Charlie’s neck. Then FLASH! Hurley lifts a cable out of the sand. FLASH! In the night sky, a blinking red light slowly descends. FLASH! Jin shouts and pulls a sheet taunt. FLASH! A helmeted figure dangles from a tree in a tangle of cords. FLASHFLASHFLASH! The images repeat themselves, finally resting on the photo of Desmond and Penny Widmore and then FLASH!
Desmond gasps, sweating and disoriented. For the first time we experienced what it’s like for Desmond to see the future. He finds Hurley and wants to be taken to the cable in the sand. Why? Because he knows someone’s coming. Desmond explains he saw a sequence of events that are going to happen. Usually he sees just one thing, but this was different. It was like a jigsaw puzzle, and he doesn’t know how the pieces fit together. Hurley wants to know what the other images were, but Desmond’s worried if he tells it might change events. Hurley realizes that Desmond wants the events to happen and guesses that “someone coming” relates to them getting rescued.
